NEW HS WEBSITE!!!

We hope that you like the new website. The main reasons for change where functionality. You will be able to find older posts much easier on the new site, due to Search function, categories and different sites.I also want to take this occassion to thank everybody for reading HighSnobiety in the past year, giving us feedback and making the site what it is now.

Mastermind Caps!!!

I just came across these new Mastermind caps over at Cliff Edge. They are simple, but have at the same time some great details. Check out the other colors too. Cliff Edge also got some great new Bape items in, especially for girls this time.

Goods x New Era!!!

Goods from Seattle now have their own New Era cap. It looks very nice, simple!! That always works. Goods has one of the most impressive clothing lines by a retail store I have ever seen, with their own M-65 jackets and denim. The New Era is a good add-on to that.

Webby Awards!!!

The Webby Awards are up again. You guys can vote for the best sites. Our friends from Karmaloop.com are nominated in the category "Best Retail Web Site". So, head over to the Webby's and give them your vote.

Supreme Blazers release date!!!

According to The Hundreds the Supreme Blazers are dropping on April 21rst. For me the hottes sneaker of the year. I also see some serious camping going on in front of the Supreme stores for that release.

Hiroshi Fujiwara's AF1's!!!

You can be sure that you have never seen anything like this before. Hiroshi Fujiwara now got a special pair of AF1's. These only exist once. The AF1's are made out of real crocodile leather and come with the matching bracelet.

The details are just incredible. The gold on the lacelocks and the bracelet is real 18K gold. Is that amazing or what?

I think this is definitely the nicest sneaker I have ever seen. Amaaaaaaaazing!!! The pics are via his Honeyee Blog.

New Vans x Supreme collab!!!

It seems like there will be a new Vans x Supreme collaboration Half Cab. They will be coming in three colorways: White, Red and Black. They all have a nice chessfield design on the side. Images via Skatehere and News via The Hyde.

The Hyde has now put together a nice little feature to present the entire Vans Vault 06 line. There is some really great stuff among it, you should definitely check them out. Vans has done a great job for this collection.

Andy Mouse in Europe!!!

Finally the great new toy by 360 ToyGroup is also available in Europe. DPMHI has them now. The toy is a joint design by Haring and Warhol and just a great project. You better get yours now, because these will fly off of the shelves.

Best tee's the old ones???

Paul Mittelman asked a few of his friends which were their favorite tee's and all of them were getting out some old tee's by i.e. Fujiwara and Supreme. Rightly he is asking himself whether today the designs are less good? What is your opinion on that?

Gravis x Stay High!!!

Gravis teams up this season with Stay High for their Black Box series, after this seasons Stash collab. Stay High is one of NYC's graph artists pioneers and went underground for 20+ years. He is now back. Check out what you have to expect...

Visvim shoe's going with w)taps pants and Acronym jackets.... I now... its hot. Unfortunately you pay for the quality... check it out yourself.

There has been quite some talk about these Nike SB's. Its the Sant Team Edition. Sant is the major Skater hangout spot since many years in Barcelona. They will be released in Spain on May 5th and on the 18th Worldwide. Via Crooked Tongues.

The pack includes the shirt in multi-color camo print and an exclusive Mix CD featuring Stones Throw artists Oh No, Percee P, and Roc C (includes two unreleased J.

Limited to 68 packs.

Flight Club in NY TImes!!!

Now an article appeared in the NY Times. One of their reporters dropped by the store and talks about the store, the people of the store, the customers, etc. Its an article of somebody who was still not ready to believe what the sneaker game is about today and what is happening between the sneaker connoisseurs. So, check it out and read about his experience. Its funny.Oh, and if you are in NYC you have to drop by Flight Club. You'll never see an equally amazing collection of quick strikes ever again. Thanks to Al Cabino for pointing out the article.

Comme des Garcons Guerilla Store HK!!!

The Comme des Garcons Guerilla Store in Hong Kong just recently opened. As usual they found a very special location for it. The interior is very drastic and extreme. I have also seen the Guerilla Store in Berlin and there it was the same. Clear historical integration, but extreme. If you have time to pass by this location you should not miss. Aside from the great clothing that you will find, you will also find yourself in a very special environment. Pictures via Silly-Thing.

Juicy Jazz from Paris!!!

Here we are presenting you a new t-shirt line by a graphic design offive from Paris - Juicy Jazz. Please read below what the background of the line is.

"All our visuals experiences are based upon a long quest from arts, poetry and music. In fact arts is a big part of our lives and one of the rare universal languages. Paintings and music bring people to open their mind and this is the essence of our reflections. Indeed travelling without moving was our main objective in design. It’s in this direction that we envisioned our works with passion and conviction.

Our travels lead us to express ourselves in several projects further more our new T-shirts line is finally available.

For this new collection we invite you to a visual ride between Jazz and organic hip hop. Be our guest and share our world vision, participate in a children organisation called “planete-enfants” by wearing our special designed item. Indeed after a dedicated year in graphics research here is our last collector edition (100 copies limited), that we spread like L.O.V.E. "

They got nice graphics, with a worthy background to them and even a good purpose into their project. Check them out yourself. Tee's can be purchased directly from their website.

The Starcow AM90's!!!

For those of you that know Paris a bit, Starcow is definitely a name. These guys carry a lot of hot stuff, including Nike limited edition gear, Supreme, The Hundreds and lots of others. Now they created their own Nike iD AirMax 90. The sneaker will be available 10 times and comes in a mix of the original colors and the Starcow store colors.

So, head over to Starcow if you want to get your hands on one of those babies. They are at 68 rue St.Honoré, not so far from Colette actually.

BBC Pharrell tee!!!

Now some more light onto this tee, that we showed you a while back. Its a tee by BBC with Pharrell on it and it is only given out at his concerts in Japan in limited numbers. So, don't even think you can get one of those. Pic via Conceptshop.

Palmboy x Hello Kitty!!!

Here some fantastic tee's of the Devilock Summer 2006 10th anniversary collection. The collaboration of Devilock and Sanrio is just great. Palmboy and Hello Kitty go together fantastic. Via Secretbase.

Nike x Quiksilver!!

After tons of collaborations, its now also Quiksilvers turn. Friday Magazine via Kix-Files shows us a shot of that action. In terms of colors the sneaker is kept rather simple with only white and black. But I have to say, I think the way they did it, is quite a nice job. Kept the sides in clean white and applied the Quiksilver graphics in an original manner.

Puma Clyde Easter Version!!!

What you see from the back here is the Puma Easter Clydes. Limited to 300 pairs per colorway and available exclusively at Barney's beginning April 15th.

PUMA celebrates Spring with a limited edition pack of three Easter Clydes. The Clyde, the most iconic sneaker in PUMA's storied heritage, was first introduced to the public back in 1973. Having linked with Walt "Clyde" Frazier himself to relaunch this classic shoe in the summer of 2005, PUMA continues to debut special editions of the Clyde, each with a special twist.

The Easter Clydes come in three monochromatic, candy-colored flavors inspired by Easter eggs: Lavendar, Paradise Green and Aurora Yellow, each with slightly contrasting pastel finishes. The Easter Clydes have a rich nubuk upper with a subtle patent leather hit on the heel, and feature artwork by renowned tattoo artist Cubanbee.

I love this sneaker. Classic, yet very fresh in these Easter pastell colors and the application of premium leathers and artwork by Cubanbee. What else does one want!!!

Skoold in Korectnuss Interview!!

Inquiring Mind now has a nice feature Interview of Skoold in Korectnuss up. These guys have been producing some dope collections in the past 5 years. Read up on them and find out what the brand stands for and where it is heading.

New Lions Den Online store!!

Lions Den from L.A. now launched an online store. They have apparel for men, women and also accessories. What is refreshing actually, is that they do not carry the same brands everybody else has. Check the store out and find many hot pieces in there. I reall had to hold myself back when browsing through. Via Hypebeast.

Puma Tres Coracones!!!

These are always the best reason to launch a sneaker... if there is history to tell. So here we have above Pele wearing a Puma sneaker in the 1970's for the World Cup in Mexico and below we have ....

... a brand new Puma dropping.. the exact same model. When you buy this sneaker you buy much more. One buys soccer history and brazilian soccer flair. Thanks a lot to Al Cabino, Internationally famous sneakerographer, for pointing this out.
